PALM HARBOR – ToyMakers of East Lake, an outreach mission of East Lake UMC, Palm Harbor, was featured recently in a "Fox & Friends" video segment for WTVT Fox 13 News. The nonprofit organization makes and distributes about 12,000 toys a year to children in need and would like to ramp up production to 14,000 a year.

Thaddeus Pollard, 95, a veteran of World War II who volunteers his time to craft toy cars, planes, helicopters and other wooden figures on wheels, is among those interviewed from the ToyMakers organization.
